“Now then, honey - you look like you have something to say, don’t you?”
Liza’s gaze dropped at her partner’s firm admonition. Even now, two months into her new life as Belinda’s little plaything, it was still mortifying to have to put it all into words. “Well- um, I-”
“Go on, baby. You know what to do.”
“Fank you for da new dipie, deawest Mommy,” she plunged in, cheeks burning as her own babyish lisping sounded in her ears. “I’s just a wittle girl, Mommy, and I hafta tell you that I- I-” She faltered briefly, then pressed on. “That I wath a vewy wet wittle girl…”
Belinda smiled at last. “Oh, were you now?” Her smiling eyes darted to the nearly naked girl’s freshly diapered hips. “Why don’t you tell me how you’d gotten so wet, baby?”
Liza flushed, the smell of powder strong in her nose. God dammit, the baby part! “I wath wet becauthe I peed myself, Mommy. I peed wight in my panth wike a wittle baby. That’th why my dipie was all warm and thoggy and wet, Mommy.” She knew every word of the infantile speech by heart, yet they still left a bitter taste of shame on her tongue. Still, without this cheek-burning ritual there was no way she would ever be allowed the bliss of another change once this new diaper was soiled…
Oh, yes. A fresh diaper was now Liza’s definition of bliss.
“Go on, my sweet little babydoll,” Belinda beamed maternally. “Use your words, honey. Isn’t there still something more you want to tell Mommy?” Of course there was more - and Liza wasn’t about to get away without reciting everything through to its mortifying conclusion.
“A wittle baby girl wike me needth her dipie, Mommy,” Liza winced at the tears pricking her eyes, yet floundered on. “I- I jus’ make tho much pee-pee and poo-poo, Mommy…” Her trembling voice sank down into a whisper as she drew near the final words.
“An’ I weally wike my dipies, Mommy. Pleathe don’t ever, ever potty twain me, Mommy - not as wong as I wive.”
The smile on Mommy Belinda’s face was enough to light up the entire room.
